    especially when they surround themselves with other good people. This is evident in the story by the way the characters such as Mother Shipton, John Oakhurst, and the Duchess change and soften their armed exteriors as the passage matures. The first character, Mother Shipton, was one of the “questionable” female personalities in the passage who we had the opportunity to see the brighter side of later in the allegory. At first glance, it was obvious to the reader that she wanted nothing to do with the rest of her expelled peers, but gradually with the presence of alleged innocent and warmhearted Tom Simpson and Piney Woods, we finally saw her reveal her most secret and guarded trait of startling sympathy and motherly affection to Mr. Oakhurst. ‘“Give em’ to the child,”’ Shipton had said as some of her last words, referring to her stash of uneaten rations she had saved primarily for Piney instead of eating.

When I saw “Path in the Woods,” the path appeared untouched by human…

She buttoned hers, and gave Maia and Megan theirs. “If the bird king truly is gone, do you know who would take him?” asked Megan of her animal loving sister. Phoebe didn’t answer, instead she swung open the door to the outside, and laced up her boots. “This way,” she said.
